when you execute 'cdrecord -scanbus' as root does it list your CDRW as a
SCSI device?
You have not mentioned anything regarding appending 'hdc=ide-scsi' to your
kernel boot command.
after changing your conf.modules file you must run 'depmod'.

Subject: [newbie] Got everything else to work but still no CDRW
I'm haveing problems accessing the CDRW on a recent install of Mandrake
7.1 on a 166Hz pentium with 64 meg ram. When I try to open the folder I
receive the following message-Could not list directory contents
file:/mnt/cdrom. Yes a CD is in the drive and yes it is a data CD the
Linux mandrake 7.1 install disk. If I umount then try to mount scd0 the
system tells me it is not a block device. The following is the existing
system
and files.
fstab

I entered the following command-
cd /dev/ && rm cdrom && ln -s scd0 cdrom
then "y" to confirm deletion of prior link.
The command insmod ide-scsi resonds with Using
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/scsi/ide-scsi0
insmod: a module names ide-scsi already exits
I do not use Lilo, Grub is installed as default in Mandrake 7.1 but its
on the first partition not the master boot record to keep it from
trashing EZ Bios on hda. I use loadlin from the DOS C: prompt via a
.bat file to boot linux. Linux is on hdb.
the command modprobe ide-scsi responds with-
note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.15.4
mdk/modules.dep
the command modprobe scsi_hostadapter resonds with the same message
I have finally managed with your help,I read the archives, to get my
sound card and USR 56 modem working. The CDRW is my last stumbling
block and I can't seem to get it on my own.
thanks in advance
Jim
